Gotta love those smallies. Been hitting the river every Saturday that the weather has been decent.
Nice fish! Which river? Is that some kind of spider or what?
Looks like fun!

Scioto River, it is my version of a Gurgler, tied with Kip Tail, Rubberv Legs and Craft Foam.
In the reports section there are some better pics.
That fly has outfished ANYTHING fo rme this year.
Nice looking fish. I think I need to get out to the local river and give it a try.
How does Smallmouth bass stack up to Large Mouth Bass in the skillet?
I'm not crazy about eating LMB and would much rather have Catfish, Shellcracker or Specks (Crappie).
Also, I've never fished for them. Sounds like a hoot to me to hook into one of those. I suppose on my next trip out of Florida I should try it.
As for table fare...dunno, never tried eating one...sorry.
Nice fish brhoff!
All our rivers (and even a lot of small creeks) in Chicago are still too high and muddy. Fished a small creek this week that we killed the smallies on a month ago, and we had to work hard for only a couple of smallies and a dozen rockbass or so.
Hope they even out before things get too cold.
Don't feel bad, we are the same here in a sense..too high, too low, muddy, too clear most of th time...OCCASIONALLY, we get a break and it's on!
